nothing more christian that saying "you deserved it"

a few years back pat robertson blamed the devastation brought on by hurricane katrina on abortion. pretty illogical at best. and now pat's back with some more words of wisdom in the aftermath of another natural disaster.

according to pat, yesterday's earthquake has nothing to do with the fact that haiti sits on a fault line or any other reasonable explanation; rather the decimation is the direct result of a pact the haitians made with the devil in the 1800s. not wanting to do this profound and utterly insightful assertion any disservice i give you the entire quote -

haitians "were under the heel of the french. you know, napoleon iii and whatever. and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. they said 'we will serve you if you get us free from the french.' true story. and so the devil said, 'okay. it's a deal."

i don't know about you, but i want to read the historical account of this meeting between the entire haitian population and the devil. who invited who? did they share a meal? was it a back room deal or was there coverage from the press pool? cause even though pat says it, i'm not entirely convinced this is a "true story."
